** Build of the Month Contest - June 2024 ** - Winner - Frankentruck

[TRX-1-3]

I went Ramblin' Ron. Nostalgia got me (and it's a sweet build)

[Frankentruck]

Ramblin' Ron is really cool. Is he from the Wild Willy?

I need to work him into a future build. I'll have to think about that.

Ramblin' Ron pilots the box art Blackfoot. For some reason, I go all hinty-clues-wink-wink when I chime in about voting here.

[Frankentruck]

I didn't notice the Blackfoot driver. I'm not very knowledgeable on Tamiya driver names. So the Blackfoot has Ramblin' Ron, the Wild Willy has Willy? Any others that are named? There's a little guy in the Hornet.

Yo Ko Mo ist best of 6 . The seventh challenger is extraterestial (...my way to pay homage to this superb mod)

It's sad that one of the insect cars didn't have a driver named Buzz.

Still in second place , that's pretty good

[R6cowboy]

Frankentruck's ingenuity is running away with it this month. I like the 3-way tie going on for 3rd, a rarity indeed. The Yokomo is pure eye-candy for sure.

[GrePo]

I wish the Hornet will raise up into battle for 3rd. The anodized parts look better the more I look at. The nerf and sway bar seems originally belong to Panda / Graupner Cyclone. But the shocks do not. Despite that, the colour matching is very good. Maybe the chunky back bumper prevents better placement? That's a shame because of its rarity this part is a must have to this build. I also have to mention that the FXT Truck impresses me greatly. So rare. Nice perspective, proudly stretching Tony Neisinger's signature into camera.

Congrats Frankentruck!

[radioactivity]

Very nice! Congats Frankentruck.

[Frankentruck]

Thanks! Definitely a lot of other nice entries this month that I wouldn't mind also having in my collection (or trying to duplicate).
